This is a big rock, actually a atoll from the depths of the ocean bottom. Above the rock you can find fossils, corals, algae, and pieces of shells. The rock that accompanies other smaller rocks in the sea and the adjacent coast.

A rock laden with legend, tradition, memories. A rock in which it is the entire island. The fertile imagination chose the Greek Cyprus and especially this rock as the place where they emerged through the waves, the Goddess of Beauty and Love.
